If you’d just spent nearly 20 years in prison for a crime that you didn’t commit, finally tunneling your way out, with dreams of finding a tropical paradise to spend the rest of your days, where would be your escape? If you’re Tim Robbins’ character in the movie Shawshank Redemption, it would be Zihuatanejo, Mexico. But let’s say you’re just needing a quick getaway of the not so much on-the-lam variety, but an escape nonetheless. Where would be yours?
New Year’s Eve is one of those hyped-up holidays ripe for disappointment. It’s a little bit like the prom: you get all dressed up and then spend the evening trying to find someone to kiss. And while we’ve just put New Year’s Eve 2010 to bed, it’s never too early to begin planning where you’ll spend December 31, 2011. We’ve covered the globe with New Year’s celebrations on every continent (minus Antarctica and substituting a warm Caribbean locale in its place). Whether your New Year’s Eve style is black tie or barefoot, various celebrations around the world have got you covered. Kissing partner not included.
The easiest gifts you buy this year will be for the consummate travelers on your list. Just ask yourself a few simple questions: Does he travel for business or for pleasure? Does she love vacations centered around the outdoors or the spa? Solo or group? Plane, train or automobile? Once you take into account what type of traveler you have on your hands, holiday shopping is a cinch.
Winter is approaching, which means it’s time to begin plotting your plan of escape. If you think a trip to Mexico will be necessary to find sun, warmth and beach, think again. Simply head south to Miami, specifically the South Beach area, which is at its peak during the winter months when the rich and famous come to play.advertisement
